## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap ZEC to PONKE on GhostSwap?

Most ZEC to PONKE swaps are paid out within 20–60 minutes: the ZEC deposit needs about 10–20 minutes to confirm on Zcash, then the PONKE is sent to your wallet, and Solana confirms the payout in under a minute. Busy networks can add a few minutes.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange ZEC to PONKE?

No. GhostSwap has no accounts: you paste the Solana address that should receive the PONKE, send ZEC from your own wallet, and the PONKE goes straight to that address. No email, phone number or ID upload.

### What are the fees for converting Zcash to PONKE?

The GhostSwap fee is already included in the rate in the exchange box, so the PONKE amount you see is what you receive. On top of that, the Zcash network fee for your deposit is paid in ZEC by your wallet.

### What wallet should I use to receive PONKE?

To receive PONKE from your swap, we recommend using Phantom, Solflare or a Ledger. Make sure your wallet supports the Solana (SPL token) network before starting the exchange. Double-check your PONKE address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### What format is the PONKE address?

Use a Solana address: it is 32–44 letters and numbers with no 0x prefix. Copy it from your wallet and paste it; never type it by hand. Sending PONKE to an address on another network can lose the coins.

### Can I track my ZEC to PONKE swap?

Yes. After initiating your swap, GhostSwap provides a transaction status page where you can monitor progress in real-time. You can also track your ZEC payment on Blockchair (https://blockchair.com/zcash) and your incoming PONKE on Solscan (https://solscan.io).

### Is it safe to exchange ZEC for PONKE on GhostSwap?

GhostSwap is non-custodial: there is no account balance holding your coins. Your ZEC deposit is converted and the PONKE is sent straight to the Solana address you enter, so check that address twice — Solana transfers cannot be reversed.

### Will my PONKE be linked to my ZEC?

Zcash privacy is optional: it supports both transparent (public) and shielded (fully private) transactions via zk-SNARKs. Coins sent from a private balance keep their history out of public view. The PONKE you receive will appear as a fresh transaction on the Solana (SPL token) blockchain with no visible connection to your ZEC holdings. GhostSwap requires no KYC, so there's no account linking the two.

### How does a cross-chain ZEC to PONKE swap work?

Zcash lives on Zcash and PONKE on Solana, two separate blockchains. Instead of a bridge, GhostSwap takes your ZEC on Zcash and pays native PONKE on Solana, so you never hold a wrapped token or pay bridge fees.

### Is it legal to own and swap Zcash?

In most countries, yes: owning and swapping Zcash is not banned, although some centralized exchanges have stopped listing privacy coins in certain regions. Privacy is a legitimate need, and using privacy-enhancing tools is not illegal in itself. You are responsible for following the cryptocurrency rules where you live.

### What happens if my ZEC to PONKE exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the ZEC is refunded to the Zcash address you entered as the sender address. If something looks stuck, contact support with your swap ID from the status page. Most problems come from sending a different amount than shown or using an address on the wrong network.
